All right.

We asked him about this thing that we had read about how ski jumpers try to get jet lagged because it actually helps calm their anxiety.

Kevin, is this a real thing?

I think this is a sport where when I watch it, when I watch the Olympics, I'm wondering what is going through an athlete's head through the whole process.

So when you're about to go, tell me what's in your head.

And what would one of those things be?

Just for example, are you like jump earlier, jump earlier, jump earlier?

What does it sound like in your head?

Yeah.

You found out you qualified four days ago, right?

Four or five days ago.

Is that?

Yeah.

So you weren't sure if you were on the Olympic team until five days before we're talking to you.

Did you book your plane ticket or did you wait until you were sure?

Well, I learned, Ted Liggety told us when we talked about grunting and stuff.

Yeah.

That a lot of times the skiers will just be making the sound effects of skiing while they're going down the hill.

Yeah.

Which is, I mean, you look at these people and they're so strong and tough, but that's adorable.
